| SEGARA ANAK LAKE |
At present, the
activity has settled down and the volcano is open for trekking.
The lava flows from
the eruptions have formed the base of the Baru Jari cone and changed the shape
of the lake.
There are a number of
caves, small waterfalls and hot springs located around the volcano. The most
importantly are Aik Kalak on the northeast of the crater, where the
volcanically heated the waters are said to cure illnesses, particularly skin
diseases.
SENARU is the usual
starting point for climbing Gunung Rinjani.
Other options for a slightly shorter route to the summit are SEMBALUN LAWANG and SEMBALUN BUMBUG to the northeast. Both are rustic mountain villages, with basic home stays available and experienced tour centers that can organised your trek.
The Rinjani trek in
Senaru originally funded by the New Zealand government, has set up a series of
the programs that involve the local communities and guides for climbing the
volcano and for trekking in the National Park, ensuring better management and safety
for trekkers.
